The Shipping Code Information screen allows you to add a new or update an existing shipping type. The multiple Count-Rate fields allow you to tier shipping and handling based on the quantity (or count) of items sold and shipped.
For Example: You might charge $5.00 s/h for 1-5 of any item, $4.00 s/h or 6-10 of any item and $3.00 for 11 and up of any item.
Generally speaking, Shipping and Handling Codes will be linked to items sold via WebTrac only.
Note: Field names on the screen with red labels* are required by the screen design you are using. Mandatory fields in the default Vermont Systems design are noted where appropriate. Your design and mandatory fields may vary.
Shipping charges can be applied to POS Inventory Items, POS Tickets, and POS Service Items (i.e. things you can sell and ship) and Shipping Codes can be linked to POS Inventory Items, POS Tickets, POS Service Items and on your WebTrac Parameters profile. A hierarchy ensues which works as follows:
- If a Shipping Code is found on the Inventory Item, the Ticket or the Service Code, RecTrac will use that Shipping Code for the item(s) being purchased.
- If no Shipping Code is found on the item(s) being purchased, RecTrac will use the Shipping Code found on the WebTrac Parameters profile.
- If no Shipping Code is found on the WebTrac Parameters profile, no shipping charges will be applied.
For Example: You have two (2) Shipping Codes: TSHIRTS and SHIPPING. You have the SHIPPING Shipping Code linked to your WebTrac Parameters profile.
- Your POS Inventory Item (1003-TS-003) is a T-Shirt. If you have the TSHIRTS Shipping Code linked to the 1003-TS-003 inventory item, RecTrac will use that.
- If you opt NOT to link a Shipping Code to POS Inventory Item 1003-TS-003, RecTrac will use the Shipping Code linked to your WebTrac Parameters profile.
- If you opt NOT to link a Shipping Code to POS Inventory Item 1003-TS-003 AND you opt NOT to link a Shipping Code to your WebTrac Parameters profile (i.e. you have no Shipping Codes linked), RecTrac will not apply a Shipping charge to the sale of POS Inventory Item 1003-TS-003.

Shipping Code (PSSHIPPING_PSShippingCode)
If you are creating a new Shipping Code, enter your Shipping Code Code in this field. Codes may be alpha and/or numeric. This is a mandatory field for the default VSI RecTrac Design. Your Design and setup may vary.
If you are updating an existing Shipping Code you will not visit this field.
DeleteShipping Type (PSSHIPPING_PSShippingType)
Expand the Drop-down List to select your Shipping Type:
- Flat Rate -- You will charge the rate entered in the Amount field for the corresponding line item. The amount field is in dollars and cents. For Example: 2.50 = $2.50.
- Percent -- The amount entered is a percent of the actual cost and will be added to the amount. So if the total cost (before shipping) was $10.00 and the value in the Amount field was '15.00' (15%), your cost (with shipping) would be $11.50 (10.00 + 1.50). When entering percentages, use whole numbers. For Example: 25.00 would be 25%, 0.50 would be 1/2%, etc....
